Fathers make up around 20% of Australia's population so there are around 4.6 millions Dads. An estimated 2.2 million Dads have children under the age of 18 and, of these, around 156,000 are single-parent fathers who look after 228,000 children.

Working Dads, stay-at-home Dads, single Dads and step Dads. Joing Warren Boland to talk about the diversity of Australian Dads, and the changing role of the father, is the social researcher Mark McCrindle.
